The computer industry has a problem. As Moore's law marches on, it will be exploited to double cores, not frequencies. But all those cores, growing to 8, 16 and beyond over the next several years, are of little value without parallel software. Where will this come from? With few exceptions, only graduate students and other strange people write parallel software. Even for numerically intensive applications, where parallel algorithms are well understood, professional software engineers almost never write parallel software. Somehow we need to (1) design many core systems programmers can actually use and (2) provide programmers with parallel programming environments that work. The good news is we have 25+ years of history in the HPC space to guide us. The bad news is that few people are paying attention to this experience. This talk looks at the history of parallel computing to develop a set of anecdotal rules to follow as we create manycore systems and their programming environments. A common theme is that just about every mistake we could make has already been made by someone. So rather than reinvent these mistakes, let's learn from the past and "do it right this time".
